Make It Happen - Mark Zuckerberg Post 💪

I first saw this post on Instagram from Reese Witherspoon but she had reposted it from another celebrity who I now forget. While I think it's great that 'Darlene' has connected with friends and family through social media, I think this whole comment is so thought provoking, it really struck a cord in me.

The fact that a grandmother is telling her grandchildren to date a so called 'nerd' because they may one day become rich and famous is absolutely terrible. You should date the guy you like, the person who makes you smile and the man who makes you smile. You shouldn't date because someone tells you to but you especially shouldn't because of their wealth and fame, let alone the mere prospect of it. I hate that people think this way and this is why people are now so scared to love for love because you never know when people are doing it for the right reasons.

I think Mark Zuckerberg is an amazing guy. After all that he's done and doing, he still comments back to the millions of people who write to him. While he obviously doesn't have the time to read them all, I think it's great that he takes his free time to respond to some.

This is the right way of thinking. Not only is he showing what success is but encouraging others to follow in similar paths. Granted, I don't think the grandmother meant the comment to sound the way it did but I do think it shows something that the world needs to change about the way the vast majority think.

I couldn't help but think of one of my favourite quotes: 'Be the change you want to see in the world'. If you think something should be changed, change it yourself; don't sit back and wait for someone else to think of the solution.

2017 was a year for me to focus on personal development but 2018 is going to have focus to it. To keep with my annual tradition of writing resolutions, this year I will also be sharing them.

Make new friends: As I start a new course and university plus move to a new city, I really want to try to make good, close friends. It helps s much to have people close to you that you can relate to and I would love to be able to have that relationship.Buy a car: I'm still somewhat in shock that I passed my driving test (have I mentioned that here yet?) so now my next big step is to purchase my first car! I am so excited and I'm currently looking for a Citroen DS3 Sports but I'm in the process of making that decision properly. Attempt being healthier: I think this is almost everyone's go to goal but this year I'm really going to try and make the effort. I want to enjoy life and I am ridiculous unfit at the moment.

The week started off with a "new danger on the road" and ended with a New Years Eve party at my Aunt's house. All in all, it was a great end to 2017!

I had a great start to the week passing my driving test as a Christmas present to myself. I've passed the theory test easily both times but after failing my driving test twice already, I didn't want all the chaos that goes with telling people about an upcoming test, nor the disappointment. Instead I booked my test the day after my first lesson and have been working towards it in secret ever since. I was so so excited to pass and I'm still somewhat in shock!
Of course, everyone made the joke that there was now a "new danger on the road". Even my mum's congratulations card said it! I personally think I'm a very safe driver and I'm pleased to say I'm not very confident behind the wheel. It's so different from 3 years ago because …

I love animals and growing up on a farm, they've always been a huge part of my life. One saying I know to be true is that a dog is a man's best friend and my two black labrodors are defintely apart of our tight-knit family unit. Holly and Tilly we a present from a friend who bred them; they were ready to come home just after my birthday and it was the perfect gift! You can read all about them in my Meet my Dogs post but today I wanted to talk about an incredible dog food service called Tails.com.
